Go Wide or Go Home! RF 14-35 f/4L

The local Museum of Transport and Technology was having a steam open day, and I decided to check it out.  To get to it I had to go through a beautiful park area that I had not traversed for years, and I came across a forgotten gem, a Japanese/NZ garden, in an enclosed are.  Not big, and lots of parts are inaccessible due to on-going work, but I was glad I had brought my super wide-angle lens. The weather was somewhat overcast but slowly breaking up to blue, so the skies were not showing lot of colour.  Good for photography in other ways as there was not too much contrast.

All shots taken hand-held, available light, Av, spot metering, spot focus.  Resized and standard lens corrections applied from RAW files in Photoshop as the images were reduced for uploading.

The main gate has a plaque that explains the evolution of the garden:

The garden is quite small, as they often are, and one exists through a second gate (above).

Very nice.  I really enjoy the flexibility a zoom in this range offers.

Thanks Rick. 

For me, it is the range, constant aperture and smallness, lightness and relative economy of the lens.  With lens corrections applied (automatically to JPGs in-camera, or on import to PS or LR) the results look good to me.  The ultimate test of that was the second to last image, taken at 14mm.
